Deadline: June 1st, 2021
The Martini Education and Opportunity Trust (MEOT) Fellowship is designed for changemakers, innovators, and leaders primarily from the US, or doing work in the US, to drive forward impactful innovations and solutions to significant social, economic, environmental, and corporate governance challenges.
Candidates can be working to drive forward innovative solutions by joining existing organizations and/or by starting new ventures. The MEOT Fellows are specifically chosen for their potential to create outcomes of value and importance to society, perhaps something innovative that would not exist or achieve scale if it were not for their efforts.
Approximately 5 MEOT Fellows will be selected to join Watson Institute’s Semester Accelerator in Fall 2021 and will form a tight-knit pod that includes supplemental programming and engagement with the Martini Education and Opportunity Trust team.
The Watson Semester Accelerator is a 4-month program where gap year students and recent college graduates learn to use the vehicle of entrepreneurship to address the most pressing challenges facing the world. Scholarships and fellowships are available.
The Watson Semester Accelerator (Hybrid Format) is a program for college students, recent graduates, and gap-year students with an early-stage venture/project and a passion for impact.
During the 4-month program, a cohort of next generation innovators, leaders, and entrepreneurs from across the globe convene in-person and virtually to tackle complex problems and forge lives and careers of impact. From climate change to social justice and from poverty to access to quality education, students selected to the hybrid Watson Semester Accelerator leverage training, mentorship, and community to accelerate their ventures and unleash a lifetime of impact.
The program takes place from August 23 to December 10, 2021.
